    We will see tomorrow. We are now 2 months down the line from plod taking it away and I have only just been told. I don't normally lend stuff out but next doors lad is sound enough and the chap didn't come across as a nutcase so I lent him the HW80 as it was the only 22 gun I own and it's not really finished yet.
    I would never have lent him one of my 97s!!!

    We had a saying in South Africa, never lend out your gun or your wife. I would leave the 80 where it is in case it is over the top.

    The neighbour is obviously disturbed to have suggested something like that.
    However, despite needing some help and being in an unfortunate position since his split up, he can add me thinking he is a bell end to his woes now.
    I was stalking your progress with interest.
    Hope it comes back to you OK.
    Dance like no one is watching.
    Sing like no one can hear.
    Scratch yourself like you think the zoom meeting has ended.

    I feel for you, that's bad.

    Only time I lent out a rifle, a springer, to someone I thought was responsible, it came back with most of the
    blueing on the barrel and underlever either gone or brown, and the action cocked, though thankfully unloaded.

    It was a Mk1 25mm tube HW77k with a Venom kit in it, and a 1980s CS Varminter stock.

    Never again.

    Although I have in the past myself been lent a few guns, and gave them back in the state I received them, or better.

    So I guess it depends on the individual, and you lucked out
